1882. Deafness (D-82-002) 


Following the appearance in early 1878 of articles about the phonograph, 
which drew attention to his own deafness, Edison began receiving inquiries about 
his proposed invention of a hearing aid. (See Thomas A. Edison Papers Microfilm 
Edition, Part I, 15:3-166.) This folder contains correspondence inquiring about the 
current state of the invention. 


Approximately 20 percent of the documents have been filmed. These items 
received significant replies or were written by individuals associated with Edison.

A WONDERFUL DEVICE FOR THE RELIEF OF THE DEAF. | 
Patented U. 8. May 4, 1880 ; andia Ounata March 11, 1881. 








at EARPHONE enables the deaf to hear sounds and conversations 


otherwise beyond their range, bringing into use the Trifacial nerve 
by a telephonic communication with the inner ear. Lt does not strain 
the drum of the ear as is unavoidable with the use of trumpets. It takes 
off the continual strain on the organs of the ear, cheney benefitting 
them, and has often produced a perceptible benefit im the natural hearing 
of those using it. 4 
The principles involved ih the Eurphone are the refinement and com- 
pression of sound. Means have been discovered by which sound can be 
refined from 100 to 20,000 times. 


No INJURY TO TUE EAR CAN POSSIBLY COME FROM THEIR USE, 


while the use of ordinary tubes, also tin trumpets and many other appli- 
ances oveasion injurious effeets. Out of thousands who have tried this 
instrument, but ten per ct. could not find relief, and these cases were 
paralyzed facial nerves. 

The Earphone is bell shaped, finished with silver nickel, light weight. 
Can have ribbon attached so as to hang it on the neck and have it al- 
ways nt hand and ready for use, ‘They are in four sizes, graded in power 
of ‘augmenting sound, and should be fitted to the case requiring aid. 

This Earphone is leading all other devices, and any one interested in 
this subject should not fail to examine this Gondertul javeatton, 

For heaving piano music it is delightful, bringing out the full tone and 
power, : 

: All instruments to be of any value to the deaf must from the nature 
of acoustics be of 0 certain aize and plainly visible when in use. The 
quicker deaf people recognize these facts and use one of these Earphones 
the greater will be the advantage to them and the more comfort their 
friends will have whe now make a painful effort to converse with them, 

Earphones are made of metal—not easily injured—will last a careful 
person a lifetime; ave.one of the greatest collectors of sound known. In 
many cases the state of natural hearing will admit of the use at home of 
the tubing extension, which makes a convenient change. 


....: PRICE LIST. 


‘The following prices are uniform the whole country over and not 
varied trom under any circumstances, wae 
For No 1, ped 2% by 814 inch) $11.50 with refiners. 
For No. 2, (size 8.,_ by 838 inch) 18.60 " ie 
Y For No. 8, (size 834 hy 88% inch) 16.60 * an 

For No, 4, (elze 853 by 49g inch) 20.00 “ nA 

Without cap and rofinera each size will bo $1.50 less than above. * 

Short tubing extensions, $2 cach. Long and medium extensions, $2.50 each, 

PERSONS ORDERING ANSWER FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: 


1, How long have you been deaf? : 
2, How far distant from the ear can you hear conversation ? 
3. Cause of deafness if known ? 
4. Are both cars alike as to deafness? 
5. Can-you hear a loud ticking clock when forehead or check are 
pressed upon it? A 
References to well known people of both sexes who have used for some 
time one of these Earphones will be given upon application, Can refer 
also to eminent Aurists in N. Y. City. ae

1882. Drexel, Morgan & Company (D-82-003) [not filmed] 


This folder contains correspondence about routine financial transactions 
undertaken by Drexel, Morgan & Company for Edison or his companies. Material 
relating to Drexel, Morgan & Company's role as a financier of Edison's electric 
light and telephone ventures can be found in folders on those subjects. 











1882. Edison, T.A. - General (D-82-004) 


This folder contains documents, primarily correspondence, covering a wide 
variety of subjects. Some of the material relates to personal matters, such as 
Edison's rental of a house at 25 Gramercy Park in New York City. Also included 
are documents that deal with more than one subject, such as a letter about both 
the electric light and the telephone. Documents concerning subjects that do not 
fall under the main subject categories are also filed in this folder. 


Approximately 80 percent of the documents have been filmed. Duplicate 
copies of correspondence, third-party correspondence unrelated to Edison, and 
unanswered fan mail have not been filmed. Unsolicited requests for Personal 
favors, for loans and exhibits of inventions, and for information about Edison have 
not been filmed except in cases where a significant answer has been found.

THE PULSATING PEN and Duplicating Press is a wonderful labor saving machine, by * . | 
which 





HOUSANDS OF CoPIgs can be taken from an original writing or drawing, without the use of bat- 

| tery, acids or gelatine, and is an indispensable requisite of the Counting House, ; 
| It is offered at a reasonable price, and is so simple that a boy of 12 years can write with it. - 

The Company feel: justified in asserting that the introduction of the PULSATING PEN will over- 

come all difficulties that have hitherto existed in the process of duplicating written matter. With 
ordinary care this simple and durable contrivance cannot get out of repair. The use of any colored 

ink, as well as the deepest black, make it at once desirable and useful to Merchants, Brokers, Lawyers, 
Architects, Musicians, and all business where a large number of circulars are required. 


i 
We call especial attention to the aad of the Pen (a little over 34 ounce), and d great speed 
‘and ease in writing, ae 


Directions accompany each Pen,

EVERY DETAIL AND THE THOROUGH gan ORDERLY NANNER IN WHICH HE HAS 
ESTABLISHED HIMSELF. I AM.OF THE OPINICN, HOWEVER,. THAT THEIR

LONDON. YOU PROBABLY WILL BE INTERESTED IN SOME DETAILED ACCOUNT 
OF THE CONDUCT OF THE TWO DYNAMOS SINCE THE OPENING NIGHT. LET: 
ME FIRST ASSURE YOU: THAT SINCE Wz. STARTED UP: TO: DO. THE LIGHTING 

‘WE HAVE NOT HAD A’ FAILURE. OF ANY. CONSEQUENCE. THOUGH. WE HAVE SEVER~

TIMES RUN WITH. THE TWO MACHINES AND SOMETIMES DO THE WHOLE AF THE 
WoRK RITH ONE, suST AS THE WHIM TAKES Us. THE. PIRST NIGHT THAT 
‘THE. GAS WAS TURNED OFF FROM THE ‘STREET LAMPS AND WE WERE ENTIRELY 
DEPENDED UPON I HAD TWO DISTINGUISHED PARTIES TO ENTERTAIN . 
FIRST CAME THE DUKE OF ARGYLL AND uacDoNALD (MANAGER OF THE TIWES \g 
AT THE MOMENT OF MACDONALD'S ARRIVAL AND APTER THE DUKE HAD BEEN : 
WITH'ME SOME TIME’ AND WHILE: wz WERE YET UPSTAIRS THE LIGHTS ALL 
aunneny WENT OUT . 1 KNEW HANMER WAS BELOW AND 1 KNEW roadinn 
‘THAT SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED BECAUSE WHILE IT WAS CONTEMPLATED 
THROWING THE LIGHTS OFF FROM ONE MACHINE TO THE OTHER FOR THE puKk# 
EDIFICATEON IT WAS NOT CONTEMPLATED DOING IT UNTIL f GAVE THR- ony 
BUT, AT ‘once: “ASSUMING THAT. WHATEVER HAD HAPPENED HAMUER WOLD tH

BEGAN TO SHOW. NOW THIS DID: NOT OCCUPY. LONGER THAN 80 SECONDS 
AND PRODUCED A HAPPY EFFECT SINCE MY ‘GUESTS THOUGHT IT WAS VERY 
QUICKLY DONE . AFTER ALLOWING SONE TEN NINUTES TO PASS I INVIT— 
ED THOSE PRESENT. TO GO BELOW AND SEE THE ENGINE. ON ARRIVING 
THERE, 1 FOUND THE OTHER MACHINE DOING THE WORK AND THE DISABLED 
MACHINE AT REST . IT SEEMS THAT THE TROUBLE WAS CAUSED BY te 
HAMMER'S ADJUSTING THE BRUSHES TO MUCH END ON, NOT GIVING oHeM A 
SUFITCIENT ANGLE THEREBY CAUSING THEM TO SPARK BEYOND HIS cON- 


TROL , FINALLY, TO SUCH AN EXTENT | THAT HE: THOUGHT THE ENTIRE CON-. 


CERN WOULD BURN UP, WHEREUPON HE THREW . THE MACHINE OUT OF CIRCUIT 


.. SWITCHED IN THE OTHER AND STARTED UP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE « 
ALL THIS OF COURSE 18 PRIVATE AND DID KOT APPEAR TO ANY ONE AND 

1S ONLY KNOWN AMONG OURSELVES . UNFORTUNATELY FOR us; THERE WAS 
x CONCERT BEING GIVEN AT br: pakxen's CITY TEMPLE AND IN THE MIDST 


OF IT DARKNESS CANE. UPON THEM . THE GASeMAN WAS 


’ HOWEVER AT HIS 


POST AND PROMPTLY TURNED ON THE GAS BUT HAD SCARCELY DONE. SO ERE 


THE ELECTRIC LIGHT REAPPEARED ‘« THE ONLY EVIL EFFECT HAS BEEN 


4 * s « 
& SHORT PARAGRAPH .IN..THE CITY PRESS , THE ELECTRICAL REVIEW AND 
; pare Taemre ery ee 


a « 


THE GAS LIGHT JOURNAL EN THE EDISON LIGHT HAD FAILED MND A DIS-~ 
——— ees 


ASXTROUS PANIC IN THE CHURCH -WAS ONLY AVERTED BY THE ENERGETIC actin 


WORK OF THE MAN IN..CHARGE OF THE GAS, ° . , THIS. PARAGRAPH 1! HAVE 
SO FAR PASSED UNHEEDED BUT IF IT ‘SHALL APPEAR IN ANY. MORE OSTEN- 
TATIOUS FORM AND BECOME THE SUBJECT OF REMARK I SHALL come OUT AND 
ASSERT THAT THERE WAS NO -PAILURE OF THE: Lrewr, Bur THAT IT WAS 
WITHDRAWN 30 SECONDS IN SHIFT-ING FROM ONE MACHINE TO ANOTHER AND 
THAT THIS WAS DONE FOR THE: EDIFICATION OF SOME DISTINGUISHED VISY- 
TORS , ; 1 SHALL BE. ABLE TO GIVE COLOUR TO THIS ASSERTION BY VIR- 


TUE OF THE FACT THAT TWO HOURS LATER WHEN MY SECOND DISTINGUISHED 


PARTY OF VISITORS ARRIVED, NAMELY , THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND , 


CAPTAIN SHAW AND OTHERS I EXPLAINED WHAT J HAD JUST DONE FOR THE 











Eo! FICATION OF THE DUKE OF ARGYLL AND INVITED ‘THEM TO COME DOWN 


INTO THE ENGINE ROOM AND: SEE ME'DO IT AGAIN (tHE BRUSHES HAVING. 
BEEN READJUSTED BY THIS TIME ALL WAS .IN eeiDianee ae SHIFT Back) 

1 WENT DOWN. BUT THE PARTY PREFERRED TO GO ON TO THE STREET AND 
WATCH THE EPFECT ON ‘THE LIGHT, IN ORDER TO.NOTE THE LENGTH OF TIME 
It. TOOK ao SHIFT FROM -ONE MACHINE-TO ANOTHER . THIS aurrep uy 
PURPOSE ADMIRABLY, FOR Y PROPOSED THAT THE .@PRRATION SHOULD BE AN 
BACSEPINGEY BRIEF ONE, ON REACHING THE PEMAKOS 2 STATIONED 

HAMMER AT ONE sista? AND HOOD AT THE OTHER AND GAVE HOOD PARTICULAR 
INSTRUCTIONS TO TURN HIS STEAM ON RAPIDLY AND WITH ENTIRE CONFI ~ 
DENCE THE MOMENT THAT ¥ PULLED THE PLUG. FRoM aie antes MACHINE . 
HAMMER SIMPLY SHUT OFF THE STEAM FROM THE UNLOADED ENGINE . WHEN 
THEY WERE ALL READY 1 GAVE THE SIGNAL TO WITHDRAW THE FEC AND, 
BEFORE THE FLASH OF LIGHT WHICH IT PRODUCED HAD DIED AWAY HAD 
INSERTED IT IN THE OTHER crrReuit ,. HOOD HAD HIS STEAM ON AND THE 
PARTY UPSTAIRS Cas ‘THEY AFTERWARDS .ASSURED. ue ) WERE UNABLE TO na 
SERT POSITIVELY THAT THE LIGHTS HAD EVEN So MUCH AS GO-tiw¥e TO- 
TALLY DISAPPEARED , SINCE I HAVE THUS TWO WITNESSES TO THE FACT 
THAT ON THIS OCCASION THE CHANGE a ONS ENGINE TO ANOTHER WAS 
PURPOSELY MADE AND occuprap SO BRIEF A TENS t PROPOSE TO ASSERT ; 
(ir necessary} THAT THE CHANGE WAS MADE ON BOTH OCCASIONS FOR THE 
PURPOSS OF ILLUSTRATING mich WHAT PROMPTNESS IT MIGHT BE EFFECTED, 
ESPECIALLY AS IT- WAS MY INTENTION TO DO IT FOR ROTH PARTIES T WAS 
ONLY ANTICIPATED IN RESPECT TO THE FIRST BY THE PREMATURE OCCUR~ 
RENCE OF A NECESSITY. To Do = AND IN ORDER TO SUBSTANSTIATE WHAT 

1 tal a PROPOSE TO -CALL THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND -AND CAPTAIN SHAW FQ. 
VERIFY My ASSERTION WHICH THEY WILL PROMPTLY POAT LEAST IN RESPECT 


TO THAT WHICH WAS DONE WHILE THEY WERE PRESENT’. _OF COURSE NO 


ONE WILL DISCOVER THAT: THE. OTHER OCCASION -Was AN INVOLUNTARY ONE * 
































THE NEXT OCCASION WHEN WE WERE CLOSE UPON THE VERGE OF A BREAK= 


DOWN WAS ON THE niaHe WHEN THE STREETS COMMITTEE OF THE CITY WERE 
TO VISIT US, AGAIN, ON A THURSDAY NIGHT WHEN A CONCERT WAS ON AT 
THE CITY TEMPLE (& Rater currous comNnctpENce THAT BOTH THESE CON- 
TRETENPS SHOULD OCCUR ON THE THURSDAY NIGHT ON WHICH NIGHT ALONE 
DURING THE WEEK |THE Cite TEReUR 18 USING THE LIGHT, EXCEPT sunpars) 
THIS TIME WE HAD -THE TWO ENGINES AT WORK,I WAS IN MY ROOM, ACROSS 
THE STREET | WHEN ALL OF’ A SUDDEN THE LIGHTS WENT DOWN TO BEET SOMERS 
I SKIPPED ACROSS THE STREET TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG BUT BEFORE I 
COULD REACH THE OFFICE {vess THAN TWO ursutes) THe LIGHTS WERE 
COMPLETELY RESPORED. -ON REACHING THE DYNAMO ROOM I DISCOVERED 
THAT MACHINE NUMBER 2 HAD GIVEN aan eigeas HAD A GREAT FLASH APPEARING 
ON THE ARMATURE AT REGULAR INTERVALS | RENDERING IT NECESSARY TO a 
INSTANTLY STOP IT, APPARENTLY -TO PREVENT -ITS TOTAL DESTRUCTION WE 
DID NOT DO MORE THAN GIVE It A CURSORY EXANINATION AS I ORDERED 
EVERYBODY TO CONCENTRATE THEIR ATTENTION ON THE NUMBER 3 BACHINE. 
AS A BREAK=DOWN OF THAT DACHIRG UNDER THE Soa te gees HAVE 
LEFT is TO ENTERTAIN: THE STREETS COMMITTEE OF THE CITY BY. GAS4LIGHT 
OR CANDLES. BHFORE LEAV.ING, HOWEVER, I GAYE THE REQUISITE IN@ 7 
STRUCTIONS FOR FRANCIS TO GEAR op-mis TESTING APPARATUS AND TEST 

i Wa 
THE ARMATURE so AS TO BE ABLE TO REPORT TO ME EARLY IN AMORNING Ex= 
ACTLY, ‘HE EXTENT OF ‘THE DANAGE . WE TRIED THE MACHINE » HOWEVER, 
AGAIN, BEFORE HE WAS READY TO MAKE HIS TESTS, AND ALL CAuR TO THE 


CONCLUSION THAT THERE WAS -A CROSS BETWEEN 28 OF THE COPPER DISCS 


AT THE COMMUTATOR END OF THE ARMATURE . FRANCIS THEN WENT TO 


“WORK WITH HIS TESTING.APPARATUS ‘AND DISCOVERED THAT 1T WAS NO@ A : 


CROSS BUT AN ABSOLUTE BREAK-IN THE CIRCUIT. A CRITICAL EXANMINA= 


TION OF THE PARTICULAR BAR THEN DISCLOSED ‘THE FACT ‘THAT: ONR: OF TRE 
BEDOWE LITTLE ATTACHMENTS ‘WHICH “LEAD -TO <THE RADIAL COMNUTATOR RODS’ 


‘WAS BROKEN SQUARE OFF THOUGH WHEN THE MACHINE WOULD COME TO REST IT 


WOULD SETTLE BACK IN- ITS PLACE AND “NOT DISCLOSE THE FRACTURE.

ABOUT A COUPLE OF HOURS SERVED TO REMEDY THIS COMPLETELY WHEN THE 
MACHINE WAS TRIED WITH THE ENTIRE LOAD ON AND WORKED SUPERBLY , 
THUS, WHAT WAS AT FIRST SIGHT A SERIOUS BREAK-DOWN WHICH WOULD 


HAVE LEFT US AT LEAST OF SOME DAYS. WITH ONLY ONE MACHINE TO DE-~ 


“t 


PEND UPON, HAPPILY TRANSPIRED TO BE BUT A VERY TRIFLING MATTER, { 
AS THIS OCCURRED AT THE TIME WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THE ORDER TO 


BE TRANSMITTED TO YOU FOR SUPPLIES AND JUST AFTER DOCTOR HOPKINSON 


HAD RECOMMENDED THAT IT WOULD BE MORE PRUDENT TO WAIT YET A LITTLE 
WHILE BEFORE ORDERING THESE LARGE MACHINES 3 YoU CAN UNDERSTAND 

MY ANXIETY OVER THIS AFFAIR . 1 FEARED THAT H& WOULD FEEL HIS PRE=- 
CAUTIONS HAD BEEN JUSTIFIED IN AN EXTRAORDINARY MANNER AND WOULD i 
RE- ENFORCE THEM IN AN ADDITIONAL PRUDENTIAL CAUTION TO THE BOARD, 
BUR DISCOVERIy WHAT THE TROUBLE ACTUALLY WAS, AND ON A COMPLETE 
EXAMINATION THEREOF | DOCTOR HOPKINSON WILL GO BEFORE THE BOARD le 
AT ITS NEXT MeeTINne (THIS WEEK) AND ASSURE THEM OF HIS ENTIRE CON~ 


FIDENCE IN THE MACHINE, WHEN THE ORDER WILL BE TRANSMITTED TO YOU 


, 
BY CABLE. WITH THESE TWO EXCEPTIONS WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING ADMIRABLY, 
THE AMOUNT OF SPARKING = ON NO 3, HAS BEEN REDUCED TO A MINIMUM, 


AND IS NO LONGER OF ANY. CONSEQUENCE, THE BOYS HAVE LEARNED THE 


PROPER ANGLE AT WHICH TO PLACE THE BRUSHES AND THE PROPER AMOUNT 





OF AMALGAMATION .TO'' GIVE THEM AND THE COMNUTATOR . HOOD IS INDE~ 


FATIGWABLE IN fie CARE OF HIS uicdieun HE IS CONSTANTLY AT 
WORK DAY AND NIGHT, IN aie THEM UP AND, TRYING TO seks THEN 

' WORK. SMOOTH, NO 2, .IS HIS PET, HE HAS GOT IT IN BETTER CONDITION 
THAN NO 8, AND T MUST CONFESS THAT HE HAS DONE GOOD SERVICE IN IN- a 
CREASING THE SMOOTHNESS AND EFFICENCY OF THIS MACHINE, THE couU- 
PLING OF NO 3. BOTHERS HIM CONSIDERABLY, HE CANNOT GET IT TO 


WORK TO HIS ENTIRE SATISFACTION,, BUT AS HE IS CONSTANTLY AT IT, 


AND NEVER GIVES UP, I FULLY EXPECT HIM TO ACCOMPLISH THE TASKW 





WHICH HE HAS SET HIMSELF OF. GETTING IT TQ WORK ABSOLUTELY QUIET s

LARLY ANNOYING SINCE IT CANNOT BE HEARD ON THE OFFICE FLOOR. IN 
OTHER RESPECTS NUMBER 3°28 FAR SUPERIOR TO NUMBER B. . AS A DYNAMO 
IT 1S A PERFECT JUMBO . IT SERMS THAT -YOU HAVE ONLY WY TURN 17

TIME AT THE VIADUCT. HE -HAS WADE DONE sévonstton. WHICH } CONSIDE R 
OF SUCH VALUE AS-TO ORDER 28 TUNEDIATE APPLICATION. 17 WAS TO

Has your attention ever beon called to the separation

from the cow, and placed in ice-cold water, the oe rising to the 
surface in three or four hours, The change from the normal temper— 
ature of 98° to 88 or 389° produces such mabid currents in the milk 
that the cream is thrown speedily to the Bun eRe es but this procees 
is not adapted to large Creameries where the milk from 600 to 800 
cows is brought daily. What is desired, is some effective process 
by which the milk Ran be placed in vate holding 400 to G00 aeiiona

and then treated in such a wey as $B: immediately throw ine ‘cream

If the theory be correct that the terrific hail-storms which 


we sometimes have in mid-summer are due to the i of act 


tricity, we have thought that milk could be acten upon, instantly 
chilled, and the Cream thrown to the surface, We know, aiiso, that 


experiments have been made by mheounsot eas to purify water for the 


use in boilers, so as to prevent the formation of wears by BHD

jecting the water to the action of Electricity, theroby causing 


any mineral properties in the water to immediately sink to the bot~ 


tom, and we understand that these efforts have been successful to 


Some extent, and our thought is, that as there is a difference in 


the specific gravity of Cream and Milk, that electricity, by its 
action upon the milk, possibly would cause the heavier parts of the 


‘milk to settle to the poston and‘as a eepeanenees the oily, or 


lighter PARES of the milk would immediately come - the surface, 


We know of nothing, Mr. Rdison, of greater importance than some 


device by which cream can be instantly separated from saa and 


made ‘practicable for the treatment of large quantities of milk, 


There are 25 billion pounds of ‘milk. used in this country. annually “ 
for the production of Butter, ahd but 4 millions of pounds used in 


the manufacture of cheese, Can you a in the midst of your very 


important labora, devote a little thought to an interest which 





affects tho. entire farming ecmmuntey of the United States, and in 


mnets of the world ? 
Centrifugal machines are used foe the separation oe cream .from

Morning. I have thought of writin): you sal the past two years,

has deterred me — writing. In the mean time, I have used every

from Milk, but it is limited in its capacity. In factories recei~ 
ving from 8,000 to 1B, 000 or 20 000 lbs. of milk per. day, ie is 
entirely impracticable to use this machine. . 

In our ‘experiments we _have tried condensed air, releasing it 
into a canvas bag, which covered the ontite bottom of the milk vat, 
the meshes ‘of the bag being sufficiently fine to keep the miik _

temperature. 

The said of the butter made in this country reckoned at 25 g 
per pound, (the present price is now 37 ¢ at the Factory) amounts 
to 300 millions of dollars, and the valuo of the cheese made in the 
United States only anennts to 40 millions of dollars. I give you 
these figures to show you how immense this interest is. We desire . 
to set from 3,000 to 10,000 lbs. of milk in the large milk vats

Owing to the difference in the wpaeinic gravity of Cream and MSS 
we believe that this result will be accomplished, and we do, again 
earnestly beg you to give this matter your attention as ee as 
possible, When I visit New York again, are you willing to talk with

we would say ‘that the separation of the cream from the mille j is 
effected in the machine entirely by centrifugal force. Cream is 
of less specific gravity than milk, and for this xeagon, in the old 
aystem, it gradually separates itself from the milk-and rises to 
the surface. The action of centrifugal force is to throw the 
heaviest materials furthest from the centre; placing the: new 

milk in a cylinder‘ and revolving it rapidly, the heaviest portion 

' “(the skim milk) is thrown to the cireumferenco, and the lighter 
_ part (the cream) remains nearest the centre. 





Fig. 1. 


_ This cut represents the. machine set up ready for use. As it 
_runs at high-speed, it is necessary to‘ have the machine set upon 
a good foundation. ;,The large machine requires two-horse power 
to‘run it, and the small size, one-horse power. 
Although.many of these Centrifugals are worked with hatse- 
power machines, and do their work satisfactorily, as will be scen 
by the testimonials appended, yet we would recommend the use. 
of amall-steam or gas engines whenever i it is practicable... .

December 5the 1882. : 

They write us from London that a great agitation exists 


at the present moment among laundry-men and women,produced by the 


invention of the Edison shirt,which is attributed rightly or wrong 


_ Ly: to the Wizard of Menlo Park. 
oh NE nee 


Sieh is evedeneenas as a result of this invention laundres-=

‘S68 will completely disappéar, “and it is probable that within a 


very. ‘short period we shall admire as a phenomenon in one of the 
halla ‘of tne British Museum the last of the laundressés With her 
last ae = 
We are told that the secret of this shirt consists in the 
material employed, which, from appearance, equals jinen. 
ah shirt is composed of 365 gery fine layers, which can 
be detached one after the other, so that one can have a new shirt. 


for eagh day of the yeare 





For Leap-years. special shirts are made with 866 layers. 
It ig probable that the aim of this invention is the 


propragation of ' general etesatincss for the Journal frou which 


‘weget the: trews" anys that the: greatest adwadltage ot thi! ahart is 


that the owner of one, after having worked during the day ina coal,

money was lost by the gullish herd of backers a fow years 
since. George Frederick has twenty, inoluding a half- 
sister to Victor Ohief; and Hampton has nineteen, 


' including a half-brother to’ Pageant and ao half-sister to - 


Corrie Roy. The well-bred Highborn, who was brought 
into notice by the excellent porformance of Dresden 
Qhina, has leven, including o half-brother to the 
1,800 gs. Shrewsbury, who, by tha way, is likely to 
improve considerably on his. performances of Inst season. 
Kingoraft hos come down from’ twenty-two to five; 
his colt out of Wheel of Fortune died, but ho has a colt 
out of Jannette. King Lud (who has gono to tho stud in 
France for the season), has eighteen against nino; and 
King of the Forest (whoso failuro as a sire has not been 
redeemed by a single good winner), has cight, Kisber has 
eightoon ; he has yearlings out of some of tho best mares 
at Mentmore. Lollypop (now in Hungary). has left a 
colt out of the ‘once “flying” Leonie, Lord Lyon would 
havo been quite noglected but for Hampton Court and 
Lord Rosebery. Lowlander has - ‘twenty-six; of these, 
twenty-one belong to Mr. Constable. Macaroni has fallen 
from twenty-two to ten ; this lot, however, includes fillies 
out of the Mentmore “flyors” Chopette and Coomassie, an 
half-brothors to Oameliard and Jack Spigot. Macgregot's 
sixteon against thirty-one includes half-brother to Blonh6i 


a colt out of Celibacy, and a filly out of Ohérie: Robbio- 
Burns brought Martyrdom into notice, and'he has twenty-" 


sight against one in 1880! certainly a remarkable proof 
that breeders in no small degree resomblo sheep, Nune- 
ham is beginning to come into notice, and has fairly earned 
the patronage of discriminating breeders; he has twenty- 
two foals ; his lot includes yearlings out of the best mares 
owned by Mr. J. and Mr. F. Gretton. Tho brother to 
Dunsonano is dead, as is the firat.foal of Rosy Cross. 
Pellegrino has sixteen ;’ he seems to have had the pick of 
Mr. Everitt’s mares. Poro Gomez has nineteen, but he is 
dwarfed by Potrarch, who, although only in his second 
season, absolutely heads the list, having no fewer than thirty- 
two.foals, against nino in 1880, It may very well be worth 
while for his owner to consider whether ‘an untimely aoore- 
pitude i is not likely to be tho result of this precocious forcing, 
Ho has produce out of such “runing” mares os The 
Doe, Bonnie Leith, and Frivolity, and Lord Falmouth has 
a colt out of Gertrude ond fillies out of Ohovisaunce (dam 
of Jannette) and Spinaway. It is satisfactory to find that 
Prince Charlie has only ten foals. Queen’s Messenger has 
nineteen against twelve, including yearlings out of four 


of Lord Falmouth’s young mares, Rococo’ has fourteen: 
against nothing at all, a rise for which he has to thank . 


Chippendale. Rosicrucian, among his twenty-one, has'a 


colt out of the dam of Ohevron, and a, filly out of Mac- - 


oaronea, (tho 2,200 gs, sister to Boauclers which nover won 


a -raco). ‘Seo Saw has twenty-four’ against sixtoon, in- 


cluding a brother to Discord, who, by-the-way, has not 
won a7 yraco since Mr. Christopher, in o .mad moment, 
* refused 6,000 gs. for him. Sefton ‘has nine foals for 
his first season,- and Silvio tent = one,‘ of which 
sixteen are’ fillies, * -By-the-way, a dearer hotso has 
seldom been sold; his lot includes fillies‘ out. of Lady 
Golightly ‘and Lilian. Speculum has twenty - soven, 
including brother to Softon, and a half siator ‘to Out of 
Bounds, 


‘The nine of - Statesman include a: brother to: 


TRUTH. ; 63 


tho now disgraced Elizabeth. Storling, has twenty-two 


“against thirteon, His brother to Isonomy has died amidst 


the sobs, and shrieka, ond imprecations of its ownor; 
but ho has half brothers to Dutch Oven, Nellie, and 
Skylark, and. half sisters to Kermesse and Dresden China ; 
also fillios out of Brigantine and Chanoinesse, two expen- 
sive failures, ond a filly out of Friulein. Strathconan 
and Wild Oats have both beon well patronised, and tho 
good form shown by Winslow's two-year-olds ought to 
bring him into notice, Breeders have learned by 
bitter oxporience to distrust tho oxcessive and undistin- 


” guishing oulogies which appear in tho sporting papers, in 


which evory sire is described in the most glowing terms, 
fame being disponsed through a trumpet, when the piping 
of a flageolet would bo beyond tho animal’s deserts. A 
horse’s pretensions are examined now with the flaw-sceking 














MAMMON., 





ELEOTRIOITY VERSUS GAS, 


Ae five years ago I pointed out that land would 

fall in valuc. It seemed to mo evident that this 
would be tho case, because Jarger and larger tracts of 
Western prairio were each year being converted into great 
corn farms, and tho means of transport of this corn to our 


ports were each year rendered mora easy, No one, how- 
ever, belicved me before thy orent proved thet I woe sight, 


for one of tho peculiarities of tho English mind is, that it 
can never realise that what is, will ever cease to be, until 
the “ will be” has become the “is,” ‘ 
When Edison made his discoveries in electric lighting, 
again I raised my voice, and said—or, to put it more 


* accurately, again I raised my pon and wrote—that tho 


wise who held gas shares would do woll to sell them. 
Edison’s invention was not ‘perfected. Gas directors 
jeered at it; it would never be more,. they said, than o 
pretty theory; and even if it were to vanquish gas os a 
lighting medium, the Companies would soll as much gas 


" as they do at present for heating purposes, and . this, with 
‘the sale of théir “ residual products,” would secure to 


them as good profits as heretofore, Now I’ ivas as well 
aware as others that the idea of lighting by electricity 
had not as yot assumed a clear practical form, but I knew 
that’ the minds of so many would be dovoted to giving it 
that practical form, thet in the end they would succeed ; 
whilst, ‘as to selling gas for heating purposes and selling: 
“residual products,” I had ealoulated eae results, and 
knew what they were. : 
Let those who hold the shares of Gas Goraisaciieg ponder 
over the following facts and figures. If they regard them ' 
as incorrect, then lot thom keop thoir gas shares ; if, on 
the other hand, they arrive at tho conviction that they aro 
correct, they will take advantage of the folly of the mass 
of mankind and accommodate somo fool ich their a“ 
before the collapse comes, ; 
Tho mode in which electrical light is wedded is vory 


. simple, and can easily be comprehended when explained 


in plain and unscientific language. If you move'a Witte“ 


near the. poles of a magnet backwards and forwards’ 


‘ 











[ENCLOSURE] 





, along what are called its lines of force, a ourrent “of eleo- 
tricity is. attracted to the wire, and runs from one ond 
of it,to the other, provided there be a complete circuit. 
The, atrongth of the current is in proportion to the size of 
tho magnet and to the velocity with which the wire is 
moved across the “lines of force.” Having got a magnet 
and a wire, the next thing, thereforo, is to adapt 


motive _ power. to them, which moves the wire quickly— - 


that is to say, toa steam engine, The engine, wire, and 
magnet together, then, form a machine which is called a 
“generator.” With its aid, @ stream of clectricity is 
thrown into the wire. Now, if the wire be out at any 
place, and then the interval betweon the two points bo 
bridged over with a filament of carbon, the electricity 
passing through. the carbon becomes incandescent, . This 
constitutes the incandescent lamp. The carbonised fila- 
ments are enclosed in globes of glass in which there is 
no air, and in which, consequently, the ‘filament lasts 
for several months without being destroyed, ‘There are 
other systems all based upon one principle and called 
* “the aro,” in which -the electricity leaps from one stick 
of carbon to another, and in which the sticks burn 
like candles. In street lighting, the are is used, 
and, light for light, it is cheaper than gas. In the 
‘ City the Electric Companies that light the streets are paid 
what the Gas Companies were, and for this they supply four 
times a3 much light. Gas is used to work the generators, 
but the amount of gas which would maintain a light of 
12-candle power, employed in turning a generator, produces 


an ara.of_1,60-candla. nawar___Tf. the. samo ungiuy - were ~ 
employed to supply the incandescent lamps, the samo. 


quantity of gas would produce 12-candle power lamps, 


"with an expenditure of o sixteonth part of the. gas now . 


requisite for this. - The reason of this is, that incan- 
descent lamps have to be worked ata ‘much lowor tempe- 
rature than aro lamps. 


Electric light supplied to houses ought not to be, even in 
the present condition of the light, dearer than, gas, Mr, 


Edison’ is now laying down 500 miles of electric light 


mains in New York City, and he will light every house with 


his incandescent lamps at tho price which the owners aro 


now, paying to the Gas Companies. Asa matter of fact, 
howover, the light can he, produced, os soon as mains are . 


_ laid down, at a far less cost than gas, 
_ The present condition. of the electric light: in London 
is: ‘streets. are - now boing . ‘lighted with it af. one- 


fourth of the price of ;.gas; incandescent lamps can 
be introduced into every rodm of: any. house - 80 s00n, | 
08 the mains aro Inid ;: : there can be a- “‘peparate meter . 


to each ‘house ; the . lamps can be separately lighted, 


and put out by turning a cock; if one light gocs out, _ 


no other one is affected; the sub-division is so complete, 


that thero. is no _glaro, sat yet a room with incandescent, 


lampa_ is far more “brightly lighted than with.an equal 
number, of gas lamps ; and an equal amount of candle- 
power “produced by. electricity is cheaper than on equal 


amount produced by gas. In addition, thio cloctric light, 
has no odour, it does not vitiate or. heat tho. air, nor does - 


it, like gas, tarnish paint and decoration.- 


“Are wo then ‘seriously to believe that clectricity will not, .

of tho railroads, . So it will be with gas, We uso this. 


foul product Decause its advantages have outweighed ity: 


disadvantages, We are, however, not blind to the latter. ; 
If we can find: something which will scour to us still 
greater. advantages, and which will be without its dis- 
advantages, can any one suppose that we are so enamoured 
with the heated atmosphere, with the foul amell, and. with , 
the destructive properties of gas, that wo shall continue to 
light our-rooms with it 7 

In order to realise what a Gas- -Company i is, and what ita 
prospects will be, when. electric light is substituted for. 
gaslight, it is only necessary to analyse the accounts of. a 


‘Company, and as the Gaslight and Coke Company i is the. 


most important London Gas Company, I will take its 
published accounts for 1880 in preference to any othor. : 
This Company has 9, capital consisting of debentures, and. 
of various denominations of shares, in all amounting to; 
£9,277,122, Its revenue for the year was £2,612,566,;: 
derived: from the following sources :—Gas, -£1,984,019 ; 


‘ residual products, £585,480 ; motres, £37,813; ond sundries: 


£65, 260. Its expenses were £1,712,656 ; and consequently, 
its net revenue was. £899, 910. The capital is probably 
about £3, 000, 000. above the real -amount-for which all its 
plant might be brought into existence, and its net revenue 
might be increased by about £50,000, were its resources 
economically administered, for in “its Dr, account I sco that 
its directord receive £7,000, its law expeises are £4, 669, 
its bad debts are £11,871, its collectors receive a commis. . 
sion of £24,707, and its superannuation and annuities 
amount to. £17,969, whilst all other. items are i MER ‘the : 
same astounding scale, . 
Tt -is clear that wero. the Company to pay 5 ee 
cent. all round on its capital and on its debentures, its: 
This it might- 
do, were its not revenue reduced by £463, 856, and, ag it; 
receives for gas £1,984,619, it practically receives . from 
gas consumers about Dd. per thougand cubic feet above 
what it ought to ; and, were the works the property of the 
local authorities, and made with. capital obtained ‘at 3}, 
per cent, its present charges aro about 1s, per thousand 
cubio, feet. beyond. what, would be required. In these esti; 
mates, I accept tho preposterous capital. and tho. propos-. 
teroualy. wasteful annual expenditure: of ; the. Company, , 
although, as I have already said, both are excessive,, wet 
Now, let. us seo. what would bo the offect on the Com-, 
pany. of the substitution of aloctricity instead. of gas for, 






Therefore, if the Company wero to depend upon this ns, 
come it would be ruined, .It would consequently be obliged. 


to endeavour to soll its gas for heating purposes. About. 


the financial effect of this to a Company much nonsense, is, 
talked by Ohairmon and Directors of Companies. Iti j 
said that the ‘domand would bo so great that the saving in. 


purification would be go enormous, and the, profit from the: 





- residual dopositg would be £0 increased, that tho profits. of 


the Companies would bo the same a8 they. are now, -: A few. 
considerations and a fow figures will dispol this illusion. Bri

material interests of the United States; 2 place where the means will be afford- 
ed of obtaining accurate information for public use of every part of the habi- 
fable globe; the survey and preservation of our harbors; the condensation and 
diffusion of the detatls of explorations|in other countrics: an interchange of

Tho Soctety (founded in 1852) has attained its quarter century. While 
passing through its carly struggles it has participated in many enterprises 
which have added to, or, promise to further, the material wealth and pros- 
perity of the country. One of four similar Societies, at that time, it now 
exchanges its collections with one hundred and six scientific associations, 
seattored over the world, whiosa publications in return, may be found on its 
shelves, By the liberality of 1 few appreciative patrons, it occupies a build - 
ing purchased for its use, conveniently located and appropriately arranged, 
with ample room for the 14,000 volumes of its brary, which is adapted to its 
fleld of effort and second to that of no similar society; and its unique collec- 
tion of over two thousand sheets of maps, all of which are accessible to the 
use of a great commercial community, ° Travelers, scientists, strangers and 
citizens properly accredited, may have the use of the rooms, library und col- 
lectjons of the Society, with the advantages of a club house, except that of 
refreshments, which it has been considered proper to omit, Happily the So- 
clety ig not only free from debt and with a surplus applicable to additional 
usefulnces, but now possesses 0 very valuable property. A “Bulletin” contain- 
ing « synopsis of the Socicty’s transactions is published several times yearly, 
ng required, and also 9 “Journal” at the end of each year. . 

” By the payment of an ‘Annual Duo of ten dollars, a Fellow is entitled to 
the use of the house; admission to the reading of papers; a copy of each of 
the publications; or cau, for one hundred dollars, commute for life the expense 


- of all these privileges, us has been already done by ninety Fellows. The few 


vacancies occurring from this and natural cuuses, the Socicty seeks to fill with 
names calculated to strengthen the Society at home and abrond,

NEW YORK, 


MaprmotseLLe DE JANON solicits the continuance of the patronage which has been so generously bestowed upon the School * ; | 
in past years, trusting to “manifest her grateful appreciation of it, by her devotion to the pupils who may be entrusted to her, : 
The object of the School will be to combine a useful and accomplished English Education—with a practical knowledge of ; 
-the more important Modern Languages—French, German and Spanish. 2 i 
The course of study will be thorough and comprehensive, conducted on those plans which, after many years’ test and : j 
experience, have been found best.adapted to develop the various powers of the mind,—inspiring Scholars with a love of 
learning,—forming habits of attention and application, and at the same time strengthening the reasoning powors; laying a good ° 
foundation of Elementary Knowledge by careful early mental training in the Infant and Preparatory School,—giving, it 
possible, an impulse to: each mind, and elevane an intellectual. taste, ‘

[ENCLOSURE] 


TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES,. . - 

Sir,—Last May you were good, onough to notion in The 
Ximes the report upon eloctrio lighting and rales neces- 
sary for its safo uso which tho Phomix Fire Office,upon tha 
advice of their socrotary, instructed me t9 draw up: for: 
them, The extreme’ importanco of : tho subject must be 
syfoxouso for further troubling you in tho matter, i 
inca my roport was printed. several : fresh fires have 
ooourred through electric lighting, two persons ‘havo boon. . 
lod in Paris in consoquenco of coming into contact with . 
tho wires from a dynamo machine, and sovoral adcldonts:...., 
have beon dao to the samocauso,. 9.’ > , 

‘Arrangements aro now in’ progress for a vast develop-' 
4jment of the electric light, and instoad of its being confined 
toe fow largo buildings, railway stations, and open spaces, _, 
wo shall probably before long have thousands of dwolling- 
houses, shops, hotels, business promises, and warehouses, |‘ 
&o,, {Huminated by it. For cach of theao thowalls, callings, 
and floora will bo threaded by@ series of wiros, ‘any ono 
of which might become acontinuous Lino of firo; and when 
it is ramemborod that these wires aro often covered with \ 
most highly {nflammablo ‘substances, such ns cotton '° 
eoaked in paraffino, indlarabber and tape, cotton and tar, . 
&o., it will at once bo apparent how sudden and disase - 
trons tho. conscquonces might be. Baek. fee 

In Jargo and important buildings s thorough inspection’ : 
will be mado by officers of the Firo’ Company or companies ~ 
concerned, but in tho great majority of | private dwelling» 
houses such suporviaion will bo. almost entirely out of the 
question, For tho benefit of theso ocoupiors and owners, I 
beg you will allow mo to offer a few simplo rales to guido 
thom, by tho following out of ‘which thoy will most 
materially roduce tho risk of firo,: Thoy will not, of course, 
do away with it altogothor, bat ‘were Ito givo ao lon, 
serios requiroments bristling ‘with tochnicalities 
should at ouco dofeat tho object Tbayoinview. ; 
* Balo 1—Sea. that: no wires aro‘ used. Try and \ 
arrango that. they be covered with o material renderod as | 
focommbustibio as possible, This you can very. easily test 

for yourself, 3" onlay Soa me 

: Tato 2.—Beo that all wires are kept. at least ono inch 
apart from cach other (if they are “ leads ” two inches), 
and ono inch from all motallio substances, « 

‘ Rulo 3.—Be0 . that no wiro hangs loosely, aud that they 
aro in such a position as. not to fo Hablo fo derangemont 
or injury from ‘external causes. Got. them enclosed, if 

sible, in. wood or slato beading having a continuous 
Eitet to iooa the wires separate, - atl We et ‘ 

: Rule 4.—Beo that nono of the fastonings of tho wires aro -- 
composed of metals 8 "ee se 
‘ Rulo 5.—Havo ‘n° "cut out’ for evory room, and if 
possible for ovory light,. A “cut ont"? isa short..piece of 
easily fusiblo motal—such on load—insorted in. tho wito 
conveying tho olectricity to tho light or lights,” "| 
: ‘Rule 6.—See that your wires—unless thoy have a waters 


| 


























root covering—are kept free from wet. - 1 
iS ‘This ‘last’ cule is mora ‘important. than it seems,’ for 
parndoxical as it’ may sppoar to thoso not vorsed in tho.’ 
gubject,’ water can easily Dp Sore bps through its 
caty,

This folder contains correspondence, reports, accounts, and other documents 
relating to the business of the Edison Company for Isolated Lighting, which was 
organized in November 1881 for the Purpose of selling and installing small power 
plants for the lighting of single buildings. Much of the correspondence is by 
Sherburne B. Eaton, President of the company, and by Miller F. Moore, general 
manager. Included also is a list of isolated lighting plants in the United States, 
dated September 7, 1882. Related material can be found in the Primary Printed 
Collection (Company Records Series). 


Approximately 70 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following 
categories of documents have not been filmed: form letters relating to stock 
subscriptions; routine notices for meetings of the board of directors.

Ss By Eaton Esq. 
. Prosident, 
Dear sir t~— 


In explanation of the apparently large 





amount of bill sent to Mr Edison, I would make the following 


statemente- 
Our orders received May 13th were, to send to Henlo i 
Park immediately, a man to wire Mr Edéson’s residence for $0 lights | 


The material and men were sent at once , but as the fixtures rs 5 
were to be made special by Messrs Bergmann and Go, the work of . : 
wiring was necessarily completed before the fixtures could be got 
reudy. Pending eharaunaver of these fixtures, our men were , . 
Sinierea ip: wiring Mr Edison’s office building, and boarding” house 


besides orecting certain telephone poles, altering the Gent ral 


Station switch board, and doing other work in connection 





ith’the | 





Ay wo 
little time was lost, and that whatever loss there may have been 
was occasioned by the delay in receiving fixtures from Messrs 


Bergmann and Goe 


T hand you herewith, itemiséd memorandem of the bill.

New York, December 6th, 1882. 


To THE STOCKHOLDERS :— 

The Board of Trustees are pleased, to be able to inform you that the business of the Company for the 
first year of its operations has been very satisfactory, The early part of the year was necessarily occupied in prepara- 
tions and canvassing, so that it may be said that the profits have been realized largely within the last six months, and 
notwithstanding the expenses incident to the organization of a new industry, the net profits actually earned. up .to the 

_ end of the present year, warrant the Board in the declaration of a dividend of ten percentum on the Capital Stock of 
the Company, which has accordingly been resolved upon, and which will be payable on the zoth day of January next, 
to the Stockholders of record,-at-the closing of the books on the 4th of January, as hereinafter provided. 

‘The Company has been somewhat embarassed, even in this its first year, by the insufficiency of its Capital for 
the prosecution of its large and constantly increasing business, The large amount of work at all times in progress, 
together with the stock of Dynamos, Engines, and other materials necessarily kept on hand to enable us to fill orders 
promptly, requires the constant use ofa large amount of money. ‘Ihe Board is fully satisfied that to enable the . 
Company to execute promptly future orders, an addition to its present resources will be. required, which even the 
retention and use of the year’s earnings would not fully supply. The Trustees have therefore resolved to call a special 
meeting of the Stockholders, in pursuance of the notice herewith enclosed, to be held on the 3oth day of December 
inst., to act npon the proposition to increase the Capital Stock of the Company, from five hundred thousand dollars to 
oné million dollars. 

Of the increased stock 51 per cent, ($255.099), will be issued to the Edison Electric Light Company as_pro- 
vided in the contract between the..two Companies, and the remainder 49 per cent. ($245. 000) will be offered 
for subscription at par to the Stockholders of record at the closing of the books, on the 4th‘ of January next.’ 

‘The transfer books will be closed at the Central Trust Company, on the 23d inst., for the meeting of the Stockhold- 
ers, and remain closed until Tuesday, the 2d day of January, when they will be re-opened for two days, closing on the 
afternoon of the 4th of January, and Stockholders of record at the last named date will, if ‘the increase of ;Capital: is 
authorized at the Stockholders meeting, be entitled to subscribe for one additional share of Stock for cach share of 
the present Capital Stock standing in, their names at that time. 

‘The transfer books will be re-opened on Monday, January 22d. 

‘lhe option to subscribe to the increased Stock, will remain open to Stockolhders of record at the closing of 
the books, on the 4th of January, | until the close of business on Wednesday the roth a ea Any amounts not 
then subscribed will be disposed of as may be directed by the Board of Trustees. ; ‘ 

The terms of subscription as fixed by the Board of ‘Trustees requires the payment of fifty dollars “per'share, ‘ar’ 
‘the time of making such subseription, the remaining fity dollars per share to be subject to the call of the Board in 
such sums and at such times as it may determine, 7 

Forms of subscription will be sent to each subscriber immediately after the closing of the books, January 4th. 

If you cannot be present personally at the meeting of the Stockholders on the joth inst., please sign the 
enclosed proxy, have the same witnessed and return it to the the undersigned before the day fixed for the meeting.

C. GODDARD, Secretary,

Valparaiso Chili, April lst. '82 


“ # One word we have to say about those mains, (the 
iron pipes with copper conductors inside).-' It seems 
to us that the substance used for filling the pipe, ‘arid’ 


insulating the RORERORIEPS will have to be altered, 

as with the "slightest expoeHre to the sun, it melts and 
runs out, and it is poaaibie the conductors may come .in 
contact with one ghother in the iron pipe, or very 
dangerously near to one another: 

This is hardly likely to-oceur when once underground 
but during the voyage or landing, transport or process 
of laying, it may easily and will occur that they. are 
exposed to the ot cpte heat of the sun. | We noticed 


this from the small pieces we have here being exposed 


‘for a very short time to the sun in this office window, 


the tar ran out and left the pipe half empty before it

haye been complaints at different times in regard to

seem necessary that some composition be used, that would’ 
be impervious to moisture.. 

There is great dificulty in obtaining sockets suit- 
able to use with lamps in pisces subject to tipi nbire: 


Hard rubber sockets are very expensive, and wooden sock- 


ets swell and destroy the conneotions. The new’ 


socket Bergmann is making, may overcome this difficulty.

thats end of the arnavure seemed enveloped in fire. 
Davis jumped and shut off the engine and when he had 
nearly stopped, the flames subsided so he turned on the 
i | steam again, and went on‘to the regular time of closing. 
When he stopped, he found that the fine wire of brass 
| which is wound around the armature to bind the conductors 
in bisga had got loose in the end wrapping, been throm 
out by centrifugal foree, and wound prouna the commitator

melted off. 

The second time I was around, and instead of eapiaee

17th. and it ran until last Tuesday ngght when the whole 


switch was burned out, that is, the wooden back was 


pretey well carbonized.

There has been no casualties worth men-

at 10 P.M. the spring of the automatic cut off broke for 
the fourth time, but by immediately turning on the steam 
through the governor, there was no interruption of the 
light either at the works or at the Louvre, thus showing 
the advantage of the arrangement mentioned in my letter 
of June 22d. 

On the night of the 3d at 8 P.M. one of the 3 lt. 
chandeliers of the Louvre ceased to burn, caused by the 


small sintp of brass attached to the outside of the eens 


per socket in the coiling cut out, probably by eonnienn 
tion and expansion as many of the pieces are very slight- 
ly soldered, so,miuch so, that they often become detached

have ever seen, in regard to finish. The wrapping on 
the magnets, connections, etc. were simply thrown to-

clemped should be longer to enable us to turn the holdors

are side by side with the Maxim in the Worumba, which for good 


workmanship (mechanical) and regularity in size and shape cannot 















be surpassed.

I have a great many complaints from parties who are 


using the new “K*" and *L* dynamo, that the journals heat excess- 


, ively. There is also complaint that the oil cups which are now 


used on dynamos are not of good pattern, and do not feed the oil 
regularly, or in the desired quantities. There is now in use on 
dynamos at Mechanic’s Fair-in Boston, oilers of a new pattem 
which have been found very eeeeeig: ae Savietrate cut of this 
oiler is transmitted herewith. The Lubricator referred to is 
manufactured by the New England Gauge Co., Boston, Mass.

I send to you a cut out which is defective in 
its connections. You will find that it is so’connected that the { 
eieeure is always closed whether a plug is inserted or not. 

It got us into serious difficulty at the New England Pin Co. 


The socket was not connected to the drop, and the wires were 


twisted around it to keep them out of the way. As we lighted

3. Mr.c. S. Bradley suggests that some attention should 
be given to some points in connection with the Electric 
Tube Co’s compound. He says that if there is the least 
free carbon in it there is danger of more accumulating 
and thus making ground connections. An instance in 
point occurred on the Second of October at the American 


IMHeat ing and Power Co’?.s place, where the tape and compound 





decane charred making a ground in the system. MR Brad 
L. Sy thinks that most of our unknown troubbes are caused 
by carbon; the compound gets burned on the bottom of the 
kettle to the thickness of two inches or more thus form 
ing carbon. He suggests that it be heated by steam or 
in a bath. Mr. Bradley thinks that the compound contain- 
ed in old boxes taken up from the street should not be 
used, as there is always more or less burned past eboard 
in it, besides compound which has had flame directly up- 
on it. Straining the compound does not at all help the 
matter, because fine particles of earbon will pass throufh 
the smallest strainer, and will carry current, If they 
carry current accumulations will take place and this 


means danger of making ground connections. He says it 





might be said that if tests were good there could be no 





such thing as a continuous conductor of carbon, but the 
compound does not stay in one position, but is liable to 


surprising changes.

4, The following complaint dated October 15th. has been 

received régarding the Philadelphia Record plant. | 
“The brass rods to which the brush holders are fas- | 

tened are too short to have the inside brushes keep a 

Bod bearing; the reason of this is that the dynamos ! 

ee running from left to right and brush holders being 

| Ne in opposite direction to the way they were inten- 


ay sdaed, the movable part of the holder is only bearing on 


the rod abont ae of an inch instead of passing all the 
way through. As they are now there is nearly a of an 
inch of the commutator towards the armature on which the 
brushes cannot be brought to bear at all, and as the 
brushes cannot be shifted the commutator is liable to 
wear in ridges, To saunas this the rods should maasura

have an extrane length of 10 3,” inches, »

themselves. Several complaints have recently come to 
hand where the bars have become loose without any reason 


being assigned. 





It has been suggested that the wires auevounas

several instances splices’have been found in these wires 
where the soldering has been imperfect; and it is sur- 
mised ee ne difficulty with the K qyaane at the

The following extract is taken from a letter from | 
Mr. Stewart, dated Santiago, Chili, September 6th. Some 
of the subjectS discussed are hardly pertinent to the 
Defect, Book, but nevertheless I put the entire extract 


in as it comesi~- 


“Since my last I have spent some time in the 
South of Chili, at Bulnes and Conoepion. At the former 
ae teccantes in the Flouring mill of Valdes Brose

of the wiring in many cases,’ The machine was ordered 


and invoiced as for A lamps. the machine started success<

fully (if acstehd! wabensd) but has since failed and is ; 
not now running. I had previously found out the defects 
mentioned in your letter in the machine of Lanz and that f 
of the University, and do not care to sea any more of 
them Mr. Jehl highly recommended them to me as “a 
Perfect daisy”, but the fact is patent that none but 
experts can run them by goastune attention. The one 
secnee mill, Linderos, 20 miles from here ran seven | 
weeks, 14 hours daily, when the commutator wore outand 
ur. Beckett with infinite pains has made another from 
Poor materials: and without special tools. We may Reee 
this machine going by a constant change of commutators. 
The other will Kaye to be replaced. See my report to 
Mr. Kendall. If you could make a satisfactory inachine 
of that type to carry ‘80 B lamps, we could sell ane or 
them. he amount of power required is no object. 


I find very long brushes of fine wire an ‘advantage, 


but the sparking is very hard to obviate. 


I have twelve orders for these machines on hand, but

Numerous complaints are being made of the great dif- 
ference in the size and shape of the lamps. Some are 
long and pear shaped and others are almost spherical in 
ide : 


form. Aside from the matter of appearance it has caused 







great inconvenience in some places where it has been 
found necessary to move the lamps in a space which would 
just accommodate the smaller ones, and where putting in 


the larger ones has caused breakages 





The Western Edison Company writes as follows? 

The commutator of the E dynano installed at the 
Norton Flouring Mills in this City sparked so badly as 
to cut entirely through ihe sem ebker barSe We did 
our best to stop this trouble without Ba éeee.s 


We had the armature in the E dynamo in the Taylor 


Mill at Ludington taken out and replaced it with another. 
Have just received the repaired armature back from the 
shops and now propose putting it up in connection, with 


our plant at office, running it with the utmost care to 





see what can be done with it. Unless better results 


are obtained we will not sell any more of these machines.

We are having considerable trouble with the swit ches i 
burning out in the carding room, and some in the weaving 


room, and we think the switches are not heavy enough, 


|more especially in the carding room. There is evident- 


ly more heat than should be, for this morning the wire 
parsed out of one, and the heat melted the brass screw 
that holds the lead tie: We feel the matter should

As these screws have only vulecanite to hold in, their 
heads should be soldered to keep them in place. 

Resistance boxes in some cases give trouble by the 
radical arm stopping against the section plates. 

A Z-B box in stock is not fit to send out from this cause 

Two large No. 215 switches, old style, with wooden 
base were broken by the swelling of the yalaanieed fiber 
block which carries the contact plugs. Being in a 
damp place the fiber swelled, ‘stuck fast in its socket 
and so was twisted off from the plugs in the effort to 
operate the eres - 

The stud carrying the switch lever on two machines

was broken off short by the nut, seeming to indicate 
poor metal, Have noticed in the above cases and others 
that the spring plate under the switch lever seems to . 
lose its tension, allowing the lever to become loose with 
a tendency to heat. 

L dynamo, No. 88 at the Academy of Music, allowed 
the oi1 from the bearing to soak under the collar at 
end of conmutator and into the commutator itself. 

The affect was to cause the commutator to spark around 


badly. It was partly remedied by filling in the joint

1882. Electric Light - Edison Electric Iuminating Company of New York (D-82-023) 


This folder contains correspondence and other documents relating to the 
business of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of New York. Formed in 
December 1880 to build generating stations in New York City, the company 
constructed the Pearl Street central station, which began operation on September 
4, 1882. Many of the documents in this folder deal with operations at Pear! Street. 
Related information about the Pear! Street station can be found in the Edison 
Electric Light Company Bulletins (Company Records Series). 


Approximately 70 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following 
categories of documents have not been filmed: routine company correspondence, 
such as letters calling for the payment of stock installments; routine notices for 
meetings of the board of directors.
